Evans finished his fifth season with 86 receptions for a career-high 1,524 yards and nine total touchdowns. On January 7, 2019, Evans was selected to his second Pro Bowl as an injury replacement for Julio Jones. As a result, Evans became the first Buccaneers wide receiver in franchise history to be selected to multiple Pro Bowls.

Following a lackluster start to the 2019 season, in which he was recovering from the flu and failed to reach 100 combined yards in the first two weeks, Evans broke out during Week 3 in a 32-31 loss to the New York Giants, where he caught eight passes for 190 yards and a career-best three touchdown receptions. The following week, Evans caught four passes for 89 yards and a 67-yard touchdown in a 55-40 win over the Los Angeles Rams. After being held without a catch in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints, Evans had 96 yards and a two-point conversion in the 37–26 loss to Carolina. During Week 8 against the Titans, Evans finished with 198 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the 27-23 loss, joining Roger Carr (1976) as the only players with two 190-yard receiving games in the first eight weeks of a season since the merger as well as breaking the Buccaneers' franchise record for receptions in a career previously held by James Wilder. During Week 9 against the Seahawks, Evans finished with 180 receiving yards and a touchdown as the Buccaneers lost 40-34 in overtime. The following week, in a 30-27 win over the Arizona Cardinals, Evans caught four passes for 82 yards.

In the process, Evans joined Randy Moss as the only players in NFL history to begin their careers with six consecutive seasons of at least 1,000 yards receiving. In Week 14, during a 38-35 win over the Indianapolis Colts, Evans caught one pass for 61 yards and a touchdown but injured his hamstring during the play and left the game. On December 17, 2019, Evans was selected to the 2020 Pro Bowl, the third of his career. On December 18, 2019, Evans was placed on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 14.

On April 17, 2017, the Buccaneers picked up the fifth-year option on Evans's contract.

Due to Hurricane Irma, Evans and the Buccaneers had to move their Week 1 game to later in the season. On September 17, 2017, in his season debut in Week 2, Evans recorded seven receptions for 93 yards and a touchdown in the 29–7 victory over the Chicago Bears. Over the next three games, Evans had one touchdown and averaged 61 yards, before a 95-yard performance with a touchdown in the Week 6 loss to Arizona, followed by 88 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. In Week 8, Evans was held to 60 yards before a disastrous Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. Not only was Evans held to 13 yards, he involved himself in a fight between Saints rookie Marshon Lattimore and injured teammate Jameis Winston. Evans was not ejected, but flagged for a personal foul, and later suspended one game despite an appeal. He returned with 92- and 78-yard efforts, before two more poor weeks of 25 and 33 yards. In Week 15, Evans had his first touchdown in eight weeks, en route to 79 yards in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Week 16 was Evans' only 100+ yard game of the season, 107 yards on six receptions in another loss to the Carolina Panthers. In Week 17's 31-24 win over the New Orleans Saints, Evans became the 3rd receiver in NFL history to begin his career with four consecutive years of 1,000 yards receiving after catching five passes for 55 yards.

On November 3, 2016, he caught a season-high 11 passes for 150 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a 43-28 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

On November 27, 2016, he caught eight passes for 104 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a 14-5 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, becoming the fourth player in NFL history to begin his career with three consecutive seasons of 1,000 yards receiving, as well as the first receiver in franchise history to receive two touchdowns in the first quarter of a game. On December 20, 2016, Evans was selected to the Pro Bowl, the first of his career. His selection made him the first Buccaneers receiver since Vincent Jackson in 2012 to be picked, and the first receiver drafted by the Buccaneers to be selected for the Pro Bowl since Mark Carrier in 1989. On January 1, 2017, Evans caught 5 passes for 65 yards and 1 touchdown in a 17-16 win against the Carolina Panthers tying his franchise record of 12 receiving touchdowns in a single season.

On January 2, 2014, Evans announced that he would forgo his final two seasons of his collegiate eligibility and enter the 2014 NFL Draft. The majority of analysts and scouts projected him to be a consensus top 10 pick and a first round draft selection. He was ranked the top wide receiver in the draft by Sports Illustrated and the second best wide receiver by NFLDraftScout.com.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Evans with the seventh overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, one pick behind his college teammate Jake Matthews. It was the first time Texas A&M had two Top 7 draft picks in the same draft since John Kimbrough and Jim Thomason in 1941. He was the second wide receiver taken after Sammy Watkins was picked by the Buffalo Bills with the fourth overall pick. On June 12, 2014, Evans signed a four-year rookie contract worth $14.6 million, with an $8.96 million signing bonus.

Evans made his professional regular season debut in the Buccaneers' season-opener against the Carolina Panthers and made five receptions for 37-yards.

He also became the youngest player in NFL history to catch for 200 or more yards in one game. Evans is also the fifth rookie since the Super Bowl era to record 200 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a game, the last player was Anquan Boldin in 2003.

The next two weeks were far less successful: In Week 9, Evans had just one reception for 16 yards on 10 targets against the Carolina Panthers, and three receptions for 51 yards in Week 10. He rebounded in Week 11's 38-35 loss to the New York Giants with six catches for 120 yards and a touchdown and recovered a fumble by quarterback Jameis Winston in the end zone for another touchdown. In Week 12, he again broke the century mark with 116 yards on six receptions in the 27-9 win over the San Francisco 49ers. In the game, he passed 1,000 receiving yards on the season, joining Randy Moss and A. J. Green as the only receivers in NFL history to begin their careers with five consecutive 1,000+ yard seasons. In Week 17, during a 34-32 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, Evans caught six passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns; with that performance Evans broke the Buccaneers franchise for receiving yards in a single season and became the youngest receiver in league history to reach 6,000 yards receiving in a career.
